Chapter 34, the attribution of the peach
Pan Long's practice inspired everyone, and then a monk said that he could chant the practice for the fairy peach tree to help it open up its spiritual wisdom.
Ren Changsheng smiled and said: "The wonderful method of Buddhism does have the power of enlightening wisdom, but the little monk, your cultivation is still far behind, don't say that you have been chanting the scriptures for ten years, and you can't open its spiritual wisdom in your lifetime." But if you can ask a golden-bodied Arhat to enlighten it, from now on, all the immortal peaches will bear fruit, and all of them will be returned to you. β
"Where is the poor monk going to invite the golden-bodied Arhat now?" said the monk with a bitter face.
"You just have to make a promise. Ren Changsheng said very kindly.
The Jianghu guests suddenly blushed, if Pan Long exchanged the opportunity of the catastrophe for the immortal peach, he was already very suspicious of the white wolf with empty gloves, and now Ren Changsheng allowed this monk to exchange only one promise for all the immortal peaches from now on, it was like giving it away for nothing.
For a while, many people were talking, all of them skeptical.
But the monk who was envied by everyone had a sad face, he thought about it and thought about it, and finally sighed a long time, shook his head and retreated to the back of the crowd, sat down and recited the scriptures silently, but gave up.
There was more than one sigh or ridicule in the crowd, but Pan Long saw that the two peaches beside him nodded slightly. The arrogant young man even said: "Ren is really a good belly, this monk wants to cheat, but he gave the other party a creation." β
"What do you mean by that?" Pan Long couldn't help but ask.
The arrogant young man glanced at him with some doubts, as if he didn't understand why he couldn't understand, but he still explained: "The cultivation of Buddhism focuses on the mind, and external objects don't have much meaning. This monk had to make a vow to recite scriptures for ten years in order to improve his qualifications, and he really didn't take his time and energy seriously. If people can't love themselves, how can they achieve anything?"
Pan Long suddenly realized, and then said: "So the White Eyebrow Ancestor enlightened him with a promise, of course he knew that he couldn't invite the golden-bodied Arhat who was already between mortals and immortals because of the matter of the immortal peach, so he walked out of the mystery and recognized his previous mistakes, and his cultivation of the heart will definitely improve." β
The arrogant young man nodded, showing a little appreciative, and said, "My name is Fan Yan, and I am from the Jinguancheng Youth Brother Association. I wonder what the two friends call each other?"
"In Lower Panlong, the Northlanders. β
"Under Sun Yuntao, a person from Yangping. β
Fan Yan nodded and didn't say anything more.
He is obviously the kind of person who is very proud, and knowing the two of them and announcing each other's names seems to him to be enough to save face.
If this kind of person wants to say something like "look up for a long time" to a few unknown people, it is even more difficult than killing him.
With the example of the monk, another person came out. This one said that he was willing to learn the method of fruit tree cultivation and take care of the peach tree for 20 years, and the other simply said that he was willing to live under the peach tree and become a fruit farmer for the rest of his life...... Anyway, no matter how evil you say, you don't take the rest of your life seriously at all.
Pan Long shook his head again and again, Fan Yan kept sneering, and even Sun Yuntao, who seemed a little honest, shook his head slightly.
They understand, of course, that these people are completely unreliable.
Ren Changsheng is worthy of being the old Jianghu among the old rivers and lakes, and his resignation is very powerful. Every few words blocked back these people who wanted to open their mouths to earn opportunities, and let their plans go to waste.
After another moment, the thin monkey who had been ridiculed for telling cold jokes before walked up, he looked left and right, sighed, his lips opened slightly, but he said something to Ren Changsheng with the technique of sound transmission.
Pan Long frowned - everyone is trying to find a way to win the immortal peach, which is a fair and honest thing, why do you use Transsion?
Could it be that this person's method is a little unsightly, not a fair and honest way?
There was also a lot of discussion among the people, and there were many doubts in their words.
Ren Changsheng listened to his words, his white eyebrows twitched, and his eyes suddenly lit up. Everyone was swept away by his eyes, and one by one subconsciously took two steps back, but the thin young man stood in place and did not retreat a single step.
The atmosphere of the scene stiffened slightly, and after a long while, Ren Changsheng laughed and said, "Okay! Since you dare to open this mouth, at least it can be regarded as a kind." The peach tree is born to grow, and it has nothing to do with the old man. The conditions you have put forward are indeed of great benefit to it, and the old man cannot go against his interests because of his own love and hatred. Xiantao, you one!"
The young man who was as thin as a monkey was suddenly overjoyed, made a gesture, and walked quickly to Pan Long and the others.
Pan Long wanted to say a few words to him, but Fan Yan sneered, took a step to the side, and refused to be with this person.
Pan Long was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look, but saw that Sun Yuntao also suddenly realized, and hurriedly took a step to the side.
If Fan Yan did this alone, Pan Long didn't think anything about itβFan Yan was very proud, maybe this thin young man had something to make him unhappy. But Sun Yuntao seems to be honest, and he will actually behave similarly, so there must be some problems.
After a little consideration, he also took a step forward, and still stood with Fan and Sun.
Seeing him coming, Fan Yan suddenly smiled, and Sun Yuntao also smiled and nodded at him. The thin young man sighed, but did not come over again, and just stood there motionless, looking rather embarrassed.
Pan Long was still puzzled, and suddenly heard Fan Yan's voice in his ears, but it was extremely small, obviously using superior internal strength to restrain the voice, in order not to let outsiders hear it.
"My friend doesn't know, I'm afraid that this person is not a good way to come, but a person from the Demon Gate. β
Pan Long's body was shocked, and he turned his head to look at Fan Yan in surprise, but saw that Fan Yan didn't say anything, just nodded solemnly.
He immediately understood the performance of the old ancestor just now - the people in the demon gate actually came to seek the immortal peach, and it seemed that his identity was exposed. The ancestor was chivalrous in his life, and he didn't know how many times he had fought with the people of the Demon Gate, and he had a lot of grudges. He actually revealed his identity to the old ancestor, no wonder the old ancestor praised him with a sentence of "there is a kind".
There are many schools of thought in Kyushu, including those who act chivalrous and righteous, and naturally there are also those who do evil. In addition to these two categories of good and evil, there is also a unique category of characters. You can't say whether he is good or evil, but their whereabouts are secretive, their work is cold, especially their moral values are far from ordinary people, they do not regard the good of the world as good, nor do they regard the evil of the world as evil, they are upside down and biased, and it is difficult to determine.
This kind of people often hold each other, so they are called "magic gates".
Strictly speaking, the Demon Gate is not a bandit or a bully, and they will even act chivalrous in many cases. But in general, because the three views of the demon gate are too different from the world, they often conflict with others. Jianghu people are accustomed to speaking with their fists and swords, and the result of conflict is often bloodshed and corpses.
Most of the people in the Demon Gate are highly skilled or have some special skills. The result of the confrontation was naturally that ordinary people in the rivers and lakes suffered, and over time, the reputation of the Demon Gate became worse and worse, and even stinked on the street.
Although because they are strong enough, ordinary people dare not provoke them, but how can the white-eyed ancestor be an "ordinary person"?
This demon disciple dared to reveal his identity to Ren Changsheng, and it was really enough to die.
Now that he understood the identity of the other party, Pan Long naturally understood the reason why the other party was able to convince the ancestor.
In the Demon Gate, good and evil are different, but all kinds of wonderful means are indeed unique in the world.
It would not be strange to say that he had a way to help the Immortal Peach Tree.
Just when Pan Long and Fan Yan were talking and thinking, someone in the crowd passed the test again, but it was Jiang Bei, who had a bold and warm smile and looked like a good person.
As soon as the man came over, he went straight to the skinny monkey and greeted him with a smile.
Pan Long was taken aback, he didn't expect him to dare to do such a thing.
The world of Kyushu does not have such a strict distinction between good and evil as in "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" and "Smiling Proud Jianghu", so that it will not reach the point where "befriending evil demons" is enough to be expelled from the sect or even clean up the door. But in any case, being friends with the Demon Gate is definitely not a good choice.
The Demon Gate is too capable of causing trouble, and God knows when it will implicate itself.
So even those who don't discriminate against the Demon Gate, most of them are shy away from the Demon Gate, and if they can, they don't get close, let alone make friends.
The choice of Fan Yan and Sun Yuntao is a good example.
This Jiang Bei seems to be a smart person, how could he do such a foolish thing?
Or does he seem to be quite scheming, but in fact, on the contrary, he is a legendary silly white sweet?
Pan Long didn't say anything, just watched quietly. Either way, he wouldn't have gotten involved in it anyway.
He's got enough of it, and it's serious enough. It's too late to hide from trouble, so how can you ask for trouble again?
After another moment, a Taoist priest from Qingcheng Mountain took out a piece of spiritual jade and exchanged it for a fairy peach.
The spirit jade was encased in a wooden box full of charms, and the moment the box was opened, you could see that the dense aura formed a thin weapon, slowly overflowing, which could be seen to be an extremely rare treasure.
He also said that this spirit jade is far better than the fairy peach baby, and it can only be exchanged until he dies. As long as he lives, the spirit jade can be buried under the immortal peach tree for a day, but if he dies, the spirit jade must be returned to Qingcheng.
This request is also fair and reasonable, Ren Changsheng agreed.
At this point, the six immortal peaches have owners.
Fan Yan of the Qingge Society, Sun Yuntao from Yangping Pass, Pan Long, the unknown demon disciple, Jiang Bei of Yuntai Mountain, and the Qingcheng Taoist.
These people include monks, charlatans, and even mysterious people from the Demon Gate, which can be called a gathering of people.
Pan Long felt that if there were no accidents, the six people here would probably be able to step into the innate realm, and even if it was a real grandmaster, it was estimated that there would be more than one.
As for others, more than one person seemed very unconvinced. Pan Long guessed that most of them also had some treasures, enough to exchange for immortal peaches, but they were reluctant to exchange them.
But since they have made their choice, they are no one else's fault.
Ren Changsheng ignored the rest of the people, turned around and left with the six people, but his disciples picked a large number of peaches and entertained these guests from afar to have a peach feast.
If you can't eat peaches, eating peaches near peaches can be regarded as a bit of joy.
